Description

First semester is a wrap! I'm grateful but I'm also really tired and personal life crises have been popping up and making school take a backseat. With that, this quick episode covers some of my lessons from this semester and how I'm going to try and move forward better for the new semester.
RIP to Aaron Watts.

3 Lessons From One of the Hardest Years of My Life: Have you ever had one of those years where life seems to punch you in the face? Where one thing after another knocks you down, over and over, until you start to feel like you are never getting back up. Well, that was this past year for me. People I trusted betrayed me. Plus, I was living 150 miles away from my husband and son, alone in Boston during the week for work. I never saw my friends because I was too busy working. I wasn’t exercising. I wasn’t taking care of myself in general. Honestly, I felt really lonely all the time. And looking back at pictures of myself from that time, it’s easy to see all of that in my face. I think we all know that the greatest lessons in life come from the most challenging things that you face. And while it’s true, it’s not easy when you are in the middle of it. This past year taught me 3 invaluable lessons, and today I’m sharing them with you. I know you’re going to nod along because y by The Mel Robbins Podcast
